It's a decent draw until the quarterfinals. I think it's really shitty that Nole is always in either Federer or Rafa's sections... but that will be over as soon as he becomes top 4. So extra incentive for him.

The really bad thing about this is that I know that Nole can beat Rafa, but I'm not sure if he thinks he can beat Federer yet. I would hate for Nole to beat Rafa and then lose to Federer in the finals. I don't want Federer winning any titles until after the clay season. :p

But ajde Nole! :worship: I'll cheer for him as long as he's in the draw.

no kidding! Why is he always, ALWAYS in Rafa or Fed's draw? I don't remember him ever being in Davydenko's, Roddick's, or Ljubicic's quarter. I feel like Nole should definitely defeat those 3, not too sure about Fed or Rafa.

Scotso

05-05-2007, 03:22 PM

I think clay is his best chance to get that first win over Federer. Rafa is tough on clay, but I don't think he's unbeatable. Nole can blow him away just like he did in Miami.

ezekiel

05-05-2007, 07:37 PM

such a long list of top 20 players he hasn't played: Roddick, Blake, Davydenko,Nalbandian, Baghdatis, Berdych and only once Ljubicic, Haas . I mean it's a disadvantage as he can beat them and they could be better prep than a some non seed to be followed by Fed/Nadal as is the case often

Exactly!

Why couldn't he have been in Roddick's quarter which is like chock full of Americans?!

You think? Soderling is okay. Not as good as Robredo (on clay). I think Novak could get away with B or B+ performance.

So Nole plays at 7am EST and I will be at work then :sad:

I'm going to tape it and hope that they show his match and can watch it "live" when I get home. Although he's on opposite Roddick, so who knows. TTC doesn't seem as American-centric as ESPN, though. So hopefully we'll see some of Nole (hopefully) crushing Soderling. Wait... I thought Roddick was withdrawing?

I hate not being here when he plays, it makes me really nervous. He better win. He has a lot of points to defend with his 6th event coming off.

I do too care. I followed the election very closely. I like France and I prefer a leader that would help France and America be more friendly. When I went to France everyone was very kind to we Americans.

I will never sleep again!

But I wonder what effect being at the dentist will have.. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow so if he plays first again... :unsure:

Maybe my discomfort would make him play harder, just like my shower cleansed his game :lol:

I have to have a root canal :sobbing: stop reminding me!

I watched the match when I got home without knowing the end result, and it was driving me crazy. He really loves to put us through these really, really close matches. He's trying to kill off his own fans. :p

I'm glad Nole pulled through... not his best play, but he really, really fought for it. He's such a great competitor. Right up there with Nadal.

ajde! :rocker2:

Yes :D And that is why I love the Tennis Channel :D

It sucks that we don't have this channel in France :o (shame on us)

Scotso

05-10-2007, 02:42 PM

The channel really isn't THAT great... but considering that most of us in this country got little to no tennis coverage before TTC, it's really a godsend.

Now that Filippo ripped Fed a new one :worship: I REALLY wish that Nole had been in that part of the draw.

But apparently Rafa has been in the hospital for dizzy spells, so maybe he isn't at his best.

grrrrrr...the two Chilians played such a loooooooooong match,more than 3 hours:( !!!Nole is sheduled to play the last match on this court with 2 more matches to be played yet i`m not sure if we`ll be able to watch him today!maybe the organisators will be clever enough to remove the match on the central court because the 1st two matches there were pretty short-both finished a half an hour before the match of Gonzo and Massu!!!i don`t care that much on which court and what time is Nole gonna play tonight but i`m dying to see him winning it!AJDE NOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE:D !!!

P.S.Volandri made me such a happy person today after beating Roger:devil: !this must have been Roger`s worst match for years but anyway COMGRATILATIONS,ITALIANO!:worship:

Yes, that was a very, very long match. :o Hopefully they'll move Nole to center court, like you said. Or at least Tomas and Tommy or Gilles can tear through quickly.

Filippo and Potito are giving the Italian fans a lot to cheer about.

Time to take another MS title, Nole! :banana:

SO DO I!!!Sure Rafa didn`t play his best match yesterday but niether did Nole!in fact Novak played much worse so...
i`m really sorry for the level of my English but i have no idea what means "dizzy spells" and i`d be really grateful if you explain me that,please!:sad:

Tomas started promisingly but obviously Acasuso is about to "wake up" which can lead to another pretty long match!but i hope it won`t(GO TOMAS!!!!)!

It's probably entertainment on the main court :(

ataptc

05-10-2007, 06:37 PM

Commentators were mentioning Nole did a lot of physical conditioning while in Estoril and that could have an effect on him.. I hope not! He kinda looks tired though

ataptc

05-10-2007, 06:38 PM

It's probably entertainment on the main court :(

Argh it is so distracting

kirkicica

05-10-2007, 06:39 PM
